In their own words
PhotoCal
PhotoCal makes photo calendars on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with automatic iCloud syncing for devices on the same account. Each calendar has a photo pool: assign pictures to months and reassign them later. In the preview, adjust a photo’s zoom, position, and brightness. Layout choices include A4 portrait, A4 landscape, A3, and US Letter, with the calendar grid along the bottom or right. You can edit the cover title, subtitle, and year, then choose its font and size. Public holidays are included for Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the USA, and the United Kingdom. Finished calendars export as print-ready PDFs or ZIP files of individual JPGs, which can be uploaded to photo services such as dm, CEWE, Rossmann, Pixum, or Walgreens; PhotoCal does not take print orders. The maker says calendars and photos stay on the device, no data is sent to servers, and the app has no ads or in-app purchases. It describes the app as a private, non-commercial hobby project.
